Razen with 180 km/h stopped on A21: driver's license and Audi away!

Bezirk St. Pölten-Land, Österreich - A 21-year-old Croatian was stopped on the A21 at a breathtaking speed of 180 km/h. This happened near St. Pölten-Land, where the young driver with an Audi A4 exceeded the permissible speed of 130 km/h. This situation was not trivial, because the traffic control took place as part of a targeted action by the Lower Austrian civil patrol, which within an hour pulled two speeders out of circulation.

The second razor, a 24-year-old man, was stopped on the A2 in the Mödling district. He also exceeded the permitted speed and raced through the areas at 150 km/h, where only 80 km/h are allowed. In this way, this incident illuminates the increasingly urgent problem of overrun speed on Austrian roads.

consequences for the racers

In the case of the young driver, who was traveling at 50 km/h above the speed limit, there are also serious legal consequences. In addition to the financial punishments, a driving ban could also be ordered, accompanied by mandatory training. In the trial period, stricter fines also apply. This could mean for the 21-year-old that he couldn't get his driver's license back for a long time.

The background of the speed

In Austria, strict speed rules apply, which vary depending on the type of road. While a limit of 50 km/h applies in urban areas, a maximum of 100 km/h can be carried out on open -air roads and up to 130 km/h on motorways. In special cases, such as construction sites, the speed limits can be reduced to a limited extent. Compliance with the speed limits is crucial for the safety of all road users and is carried out by regular checks like this.

Both cases underline the importance of traffic safety and compliance with the applicable regulations. Lower Austrian civil patrol acts effectively and contributes to the defusing of potentially dangerous situations on the streets. As OE24 , the speeders were also displayed at the responsible district management authority, what further legal steps were shown can.
